"Final Battle"? Does that mean that Dionin was going to be the final boss instead of Malus?

Gina Sonicstar Malus probably would’ve still been the final boss. That name of the music really could’ve been anything.

I’ve never heard people refer to the colossus as Dionin. Is this a new thing in the SOTC fanbase?

@@wesleyfilms Nope,people has always been calling the worm "Dionin"

@@cryptidliker5294 No, this song isn't used for the last collossus.

It's not a arena

Most of the arena is large vertically and it makes turns often in the battle.

i don't understand why the Remake maker didn't work at adding new Colossi for both new comers and original players

Cody Horn Personally, my favorite is the monkey. But at the end of the day, they’re all pretty interesting!

Ransom Seraph Well, to be honest, even though I would’ve loved to see these guys in the remake, it really doesn’t bother me as much personally because, while these colossi are sick-looking, they’re not truly what defines this game for me. I think some of the colossi we have in the final are already pretty great in terms of design and battles. I mean hey, it could be worse, they could’ve re-packaged finished content later on for paid dlc if you know what I mean?

A group of people are creating a sort of game that will include this 8 colossi, it will be a free game for PC and it will probably release in early 2021.

And it's called Ico Remodel

But can't they have a DLC where you fight these 8 deleted Colossi too?

i know

I don't think that there's no dlc cause they would be hard to remake and animate

@@mamboo0743 Hmmm If its also Team ico they can so it but they said why they removed IT Fron The Game cause The noobs Canton handle IT 😑

@@no1noob37 as much than we can want it, fumito hueda don't want, he give his own significance to the 16 colossus, even if in the beginning it truly was just because they haven't time and power in ps2 to do it :'/ A sad true, they totally erased that colossus from the code of the game, so as much than even a hacker can wanna do a mod about that, he will never unlock the canceled colossus, because it stopped existing in the whole code since sotc came out in 2004, as much can re create based in the info and photos we all know, but cannot find the original colossus created by the team ICO ... Also is impossible steal or try to get more files of the canceled colossus from the team ICO, because they have a strict confidentially contract with Fumito Hueda, and they was personally selected by him from much programmers than wanted to work with him, in a proportion to 300 candidates to work with him, just 1 was chosen, not just for talent he was looking for, but also for the commitment, responsibility, and loyalty, so everything that Fumito Hueda does not want to show, is information that they have hermetically sealed, if they have not deleted it yet... So, from mods of the fans is impossible, and Fumito Hueda flatly refuses add content or more colossus in any remake or expansion, and he insist that the game is complete and that it will not add content that at its discretion is unnecessary, so as much than we can wanna see the fight with some of the canceled colossus, don't hope anything, because it will never happen... I know this is very pessimistic, but belive me, i wish i was wrong...The sooner you accept the truth, the less disappointed you will be of those hopes that the more you investigate, the more you will understand that they will never be fulfilled, at least with respect to the canceled colossus, is all we can see and do ...

ShoryuGame would have given some actual substance to the mysterious feeling of the map, loved your video mate, subbed!

No there just lazy fucks remakes are just used for dumb people that think remakes is a good way to be nostalgic about a old game playing on ps3 remaster or ps2 emulator of shadow of the colossus are the best ways and it still has that original art style that made the game special and made it a classic so why would you want to ruin a classic with modern graphics I’d honestly rather have ps2 version with bad fps than remake like yes remake is still fun I love shadow of the colossus and I will play it for other secrets it has but I’d prefer the original anyday it was unnecessary giving it a remake it look good already in 60fps and good resolution the perfect remake would be to have the option to pick original ps2 graphics and options to pick modern graphics for the normies and fucking actually not being lazy and adding the missing colossi I just want to fight a giant fuckin spider that’s 5,000ft tall no other game has a spider that big also if I want a team ico style game with modern graphics I’ll play last guardian but shadow of the colossus is a classic and the old graphics are already amazing

@@armorwolf7934 Hey uh calm down! Your opinion is ok but I think is bad to insult the developers of the remake like that Remaking a game like SOTC is one of the hardest things ever, not only because of the grafics, you also need to recreate the atmosphere of the original game. And I have to recognize they didn't do that at all, but thats why we have filters! Fumito Ueda isn't even the director now, if he was, then, maybe there was going to be a posibility of seeing the 8 colossi that were removed and maybe some alternative ending, but that didn't happen. In my personal opinion, the PS2 game and the PS4 game are the same thing. One with better grafics, one with better atmosphere; I have played so many times the PS4 game, I love it so much. But I miss playing the PS3 version since my PS3 is broken, but afterall, I still have the disc in my hands, waiting for the day that I'll have enough money to fix it. I love SOTC, it's my favorite game ever, but I hate seeing fans arguing about the grafics. it's just stupid for me. But anyways, just saying that your opinion is completely ok! But try to give the developers of the remake a little bit of credit cus' they have made this community united again.

@@armorwolf7934 dude you're clown

I don’t mind 11 but 14 really shouldn’t exist

catmaster 2004 cool

catmaster 2004 I agree, they play nearly the same at the end, but 14 has a cooler build up. But remember that the 8 were cut for a reason. 11 was chosen over them.

Feel like I’m the only one who has the most fun with 14 lol

I like cenobia shut up

That makes a lot more sense. I always wondered why those weee hanging of dormin

Well it is pronounced eekoh. Shadow of the Colossus was originally going to be called Nico, a play on of Ni(2 in Japanese) and Ico. Because of this, it's speculated this is how Trico got its name. Tri(3)/Ico

I know that's how it works, "eye-koh" is a mistake.

@@alpharabbit2353 Ico is the second game. Shadow of the Colossus is the first because in the end, Wander becomes a baby, and in Ico, you play as a young Wander.

@@bendydemon1666 Ico came out in 2001. Shadow of the Colossus came out in 2005. That's what I mean by "first"

And no... The horned boy in Ico isn't the baby. Ico takes place MANY generations after SotC. Because unless horned children were already common, it's very unlikely

It’s in the game but inaccessible

Powerful Sniff You left out the part where they have to actively revive Dorman and split them into a group of brand new colossi.

I thought the colossi were being born of light?

I don't think the Colossi were built, rather were actual giants, creatures, like you and me. They populated the Forbidden Lands, (and The Last Guardian seems to say differently possibly) and it seems that people lived there too. Dormin was clearly some kind of diety, or god, and was worshipped... Eventually, some people, including the Shaman (whether it was the Shaman we see in the present, or the Shaman from generations ago, it was a very very very long time in past) realized "uh oh, he's evil", and they fought a hard fight, and it seems the Colossi joined in to the fight as well. The Colossi, being clearly creatures of power and might, and pride for their lands, were the ones to take a fall in sealing dormin. Dormin was split into 16 fragments, which was also the amount of Colossi that were left alive... Sealed with the Forbidden Sword, 16 fragments were sealed in each colossus. When you use the sword on one of the sigils of a colossus, imagine a key opening a lock. In fact, there is a marking that resembles a lock on these symbols. These are like magic seals. When you kill the colossus, black tendrils come out, and enter your body. When you wake up back in the Shrine of Worship, you have shadowy figures standing above you- one of each colossus slain, and the respective colossus's statue erupts and falls to pieces in a glorious light show of destruction. This leads me personally to believe that the life force, or the souls of the Colossi are held within these statues. This could explain why they are practically stones- if they can't die, and their mortal bodies and their souls are separated (yet still connected) then their bodies might never die, which over the centuries, would turn to stone almost, growing moss and plant life on them. Or, perhaps it's a fragment of Dormin keeping them alive, perhaps a mortal soul and a fragment can't be sealed within the same vessel, which is why the soul would be stored in a magic statue, that way they still live on...(also, Colossi are born from light. When they die, and Dormin's fragment come out they are shrouded in darkness, and Dormin is always associated with such, but their statue explodes with bright white[almost that mystic blue hue] light.) Dormin and a Mortal soul living in the same vessel would cause destruction... Sound familiar? At the end of the game, Dormin, now materialized, out right states he used Wander's body as a physical vessel! Throughout the game, you see Wander's state get more sickly... He gets pale, and turns grey almost, his veins start to cloud black, and he gets stronger, stamina and health increasing with each fragment, but he always ends up looking more weak... By the end, he is so corrupted, with a full 16 fragments, he is barely able to move... He is completely devoid of human color, his veins run with dark black colored blood, his eyes are demented and blue, and horns have sprouted from his skull... He is brought back right underneath where Dormin's light is, and when he is killed, the fragments come together, using Wander as a vessel to be physically complete. This even shows when Dormin in physical form (the giant, black demon you play as at the end) is shown holding his chest, where wants was stabbed, and is dragging/limping on his right leg where Wander was previously shot with an arrow! All of this proves the Colossus being living vessels used to protect the fragments from coming together, guardians of the shards of evil, forever living out their duty, even when their flesh turns to stone... Wait... Guardian? The Last Guardians? Well, what about Trico? The Last Guardian? His eyes show similar behaviour to that of a colossus.... Ah, that's a dive for lore another day, huh?

Apparently wander and mono populated the forbidden lands and that is where the boy from ico came from

Mikan San nope, dorman’s soul was trapped in each of the colossi

Would the map be 3x bigger? Yes and no. As it is only 56% of SoC's map is actually used, the rest is either empty space or inaccessible areas with invisible floors. The 8 scraped Colossi could've easily fit in the game map if it was fully fleshed out, however making all 48 would need a huge increase in size. So if you mean playable area, it would need to be 4x bigger, if you mean the actual plane of existence the game is built on it would need to be 2x as big.

Just having the 8 that were already built would be nice. I get they used elements from them for the colossi we got but something like Spider and Devil should be doable

forget DLC, stick with 16, don't mess with the original.... I'd love more colossi, but really the game is perfect as it is

First off, they designed 48 colossi, but they didn't intend to have that many in the game anyway. Second, Shadow of the Colossus should not have DLC. Having a DLC menu, and just buying DLC for the game would just ruin the aesthetics. I would not have minded if they just put them in. They said they wouldn't want to put in additional bosses because that would ruin the atmosphere of the game, but I think it would've been alright if you could access them after you beat the game. I mean, my argument with that is that you can unlock exploding arrows, a parachute, and other things that are fairly ridiculous, so having the option to fight the unused colossi after beating the game wouldn't be too ridiculous. Though I think making them DLC would ruin the atmosphere.

@Quality content! DLC isn't bad. DLC at launch is bad. DLC is amazing so long as it isn't something that should have already been there at the start (ie something they thought of later instead of during development (this is more situational though))

Rainbows115 Dash It would also be cool to see if there’s more colossi that we don’t know about that were also removed!

and longer lmao , u can beat the game in 10 hours

There is a short clip of Rock which was released more than a decade ago. It's really short and it's the only footage of the unused colossi we ever got.

patrick22014 Yeah, it’s kind of disappointing. They honestly should do some sort of video showcasing all of the cut colossi and why they were removed! I’m curious to see if there exists an early copy of the game that includes some of this early content, I’m just saying that could be a possibility!

Nyo hoo

wesleyfilms Are they the only cut colossi with remaining code, or is there more that maybe we haven’t found yet?

That's a RAD idea. I love that.

ShoryuGame YA-

I don't want to imagine fighting poor Trico and killing him

I'm not saying it wasn't, it still looks great. A part of it is that when you shoot arrows, the arrows look pretty bulky and seem to glow. If you look at stuff like Metal Gear Solid 3D on the 3DS, and the 3DS version of Xenoblade Chronicles, then compare them to the console versions, you'll see what I'm talking about.

SuperSaiyan3985 I would keep cenobia but remove celosia I still don't know why I like cenobia way more than celosia

NiggaYouDon'tWannaShoutoutmeBoi Well I can see why, Cenobia has cooler armor.

@@exiledaura8260 Because you spend less time with Cenobia itself, which means less time being stuck in a knockdown loop.

But we should have found their broken statues in the temple.

@@ShoryuGame true but it is highly unlikely that wander would be the only one to seek the chance to revive what was lost

It's not even a spider but an insect.

Aye, I think they designed Dormin's look when spider was still being developed. Then he was scrapped, but they must've liked spider lags on Dormin, so they just kept it

So basically your saying they would have had to do more work to add them in the game.. No kidding, I think that's the idea. Also nothing is new. The 8 colossus were already made by the original artist. This would be like David Bowie having a song that he made and never put on album, then putting it on a remaster. This happens all the time. So nothing more is being asked, but to add originally intended content that was removed due to time and development constrictions at the time. On top of this, most of the boss locations remain on the original map. Any additional locations could be added in secret areas not to conflict to much with the original layout.

It's a remake, not a remaster. What's the point of buying the same game over and over? If you've already played the game playing it again but prettier is pointless, new content satisfies old fans. I question if you're a game dev or just someone trying to sound like one.

You're speaking in terms of back then. Just doing 16 of them was very ambitious. It would still be ambitious today. That's not the issue at all. The issue is wasting a whole decade on a game that was essentially trash compared to the last two. They only spent three years on this masterpiece. With the advancement in technology and all the unused content, it is plausible to have made at least two sequels. Or even a simple expansion pack for the nearly finished bosses instead of random cheap collectibles. But the developers truly did decide to become lazy instead.

FrostGaming thats how you kill great games roght there

What about The Last Guardian?

Dont we all...

SOTC is a prequel to ICO.....

DingDongWeenie he means a proper sequel that follows this game’s mechanics. I don’t care much for a sequel, as that would ruin how this feels like a standalone game in its own right. I’m just more sad we couldn’t be allowed to at least explore cut areas like the dam.

ShoryuGame With the insane attention to detail and the fact that the game was made from the ground up, Id say lazy is the last thing Bluepoint is. Its more of a difference in want. Bluepoint wanted to remake the original as best they could, not remix it as the complete/definitive edition.

Jake the game isn't about fighting monsters. I m laughing rn.

Then what is it about? because the main focus of the game is fighting 16 different bosses.Its exactly what the game is about.

The storytelling? You mean a few cutscenes and a silent story? Not uncommon in games, and the lonely and empty atmosphere? That's a downside if anything, themes of selfishness and love are not unique to this game. Whats unique is the 16 colossi that all share different abilities and appearances that the player is able to climb and slay. Just because you love the game doesnt make it a masterpiece.

ShoryuGame It wasn't made by the original devs and bluepoint wanted to be faithful to the original game made by team ICO After all, this game is one of the greatest of all time and to try to change it without the original director. Could have a negative response from the community

I know that there was a rumor going around about the strange gold coins/relics scattered around the PS4 remake. People were saying that it would unlock one of these unused Colossi for you to fight. Obviously this isn't true, but that would have been kind of cool. (And it turned out that collecting all the coins/relics unlocked the basement of the main temple and gave you the Sword of Dormin, which is actually a really badass item.)

Yeah, they could have just been activated in New Game Plus or something, in different areas than the main 16.

4 years late, but whatever. It was 48 cut in half to make 24, but then they scrapped 8 more to keep 16.

Pretty much!

@@ShoryuGame *_My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is relatively unchanged._*

From planet Earth

D3SCEND4NT It’s a sequel prequel...

To ICO

PS4 was a remake, but I understand your confusion as it was essentially a glorified remaster.

WAIT FRL???

@Adam P. Tello why :(

@Adam P. Tello ohhh alr well 24 is good enough I wanna fight monkey and devil and pheonix

@Adam P. Tello well we will see how things go

@Adam P. Tello There was a 25th colossus known as Yamori A.

I like "The Lost Colossi"

Nope

So what are the other 8 you include here?

You're right, will do. My apologies

Plus a spider and a freaking demon.

All of them have names either by fans, devs or even translations.

Oh yeah i forgot the statues

Cut 17th colossus video for that was lit.
